A UK mother was left “absolutely devastated” after her daughter’s passport application was denied because she was named after a popular “Game of Thrones” character.

Lucy, from South West England, told the BBC that the initial application to get her daughter, Khaleesi, 6, a passport was denied — with officials telling her she needed Warner Brothers’ approval because it owns the name’s trademark.

“I was absolutely devastated, we were so looking forward to our first holiday together,” Lucy said.

The 39-year-old mom was planning their “dream” trip to Disneyland Paris when she got the bad news.
